Actually it may be easier for ya man. I wish I had. The bumper is only 4 nuts to take off. also take our the grille and have fun with those bolts on the tow hooks, they were a biotch to get out!!.

On the horizontal bolts, the best thing to use us a 15mm stubby wrench and a deadblow hammer. I had to move my trans cooler out of the way when I did mine 06+ stainless tow hooks. if you have any questions, let me know!
